CNN环球风采之体会巴黎风情

巴黎是一个国际化的大都市，也是很多同学向往的旅游胜地。那么大家对于巴黎的了解有多少呢？今天，留学监理网的老师就来给大家推荐一个CNN的听力资源，我们快跟着主持人的脚步来感受一下巴黎的浪漫风情吧。

I'm urban. I live in a very urban and fast city. What I like about Paris is the places where... that are not known and named, little streets that are not on the map. If you live in a city and if you're a director, whatever city you're gonna live in, you're gonna find beauty. It's not easy to describe Paris, it's so cinematic.

我是个市井之人。我生活在一个很市区化、调很快的城市。关于巴黎，我喜欢的是那些不为人所知和叫不出名字的地方，那些在地图上找不到的小巷道。如果你居住在城市，而且你是位导演的话，无论住在哪个城市，你都将会发现美好的事物。描绘巴黎并不是件容易的事，它很有电影的感觉。

People have an intimate relationship with their own city and directors have the ability to show it within the screen.

人们和他们自己的城市有着密不可分的关系，而导演有能力通过屏幕表现出来。

I'm gonna show you Paris the way I see it and the way I live it, and the only way to go through Paris is on a scooter. So, come with me and we'll hit it.

我要让你们看看我看巴黎的方式和我的生活形态，而唯一把巴黎走透的办法就是骑摩托车。所以，跟我来，咱们四处逛逛吧。

When you walk around Paris, there's one interesting thing to do, is to look up. You'll see a lot of details at the top of the buildings that are really specific to Paris. I remember I used to drive around with my father and he was always looking up, never in front of him, but always up. Never had an accident, though.

当你在巴黎四处漫步，有件好玩的事一定要做，就是抬头看。你会看到很多建筑物顶端细微修饰的部分，这真的是巴黎很特别的地方。记得我以前常和父亲开车四处闲逛，他总是抬头看，都不看他的前面，而是看上面，不过倒是没发生过什么意外。

This is the 18th. This is where I used to live. This is [a] multicultural，totally mixed environment. This is a rough area. Nothing bad, it's just rough because it's lively. beautiful. What you've gotta understand about Paris, it's ... sometimes it's hard, it's hard neighborhoods. You always have a couple of hard-headed, you know, young kids who are doing whatever they can, whatever they want. But beside that, people are very, very friendly and very open-minded.

这里是第十八区，是我以前住的地方。这是一个融合多元文化、龙蛇杂处的环境。这是一个杂乱的地区，没有什么不好，杂乱是因为它充满生气。这里很美。你要了解巴黎，它……有时候很冷酷，有些生活不容易的街坊社区。你总是会碰到一些冷酷强悍的人，你知道，像是任性妄为、想做什么就做什么的年轻人。但是除此之外，这里的人其实非常非常友善，心胸也很宽大。

We should stop and have a look at this. It's one of the markets of Paris. It's there and every week, every Wednesday, and it's all over Paris, so let's check it out. You can't smell it, but it smells good today. You can buy everything from clothes to food, and you have got fresh food, you have got bio-food. You have got everything here. So the good thing when you walk in these markets is people shouting to get the attention of the customers. It's very French.

我们应该停一下然后看看这里。这是巴黎的市场之一，每个周三都有，巴黎到处都有这种市集。我们来看看吧。你闻不到味道，但今天这里的味道很香。你可以买到任何东西，从衣服到食物都有，你也能买到新鲜的食材，还有生物食品。你在这里要找什么都有。当你逛这些市场时，很棒的一件事是人们会喊叫好吸引顾客的注意。

这非常有法国的感觉。

Montmartre is the most touristy place I think in the world. It's too beautiful for its own sake.

蒙马特区是我认为这世界上最适合游览的地方。它本身实在是太漂亮了。

So Paris has two sides, and on each side you get two woods, two big forests. There's the Bois de Boulogne on the other side of Paris, where you have got a lot of prostitutes, and you've got the Bois de Vincennes, which is way nicer. It's unique because it's not contained -it's not like in New York or in London. It's a forest by itself and it's two minutes from Paris. Actually, Paris is right here. It's 2,500 acres. It's huge. You can get lost in here.

巴黎有两边，两边各有一座树林，共两片大森林。布洛涅森林在巴黎的另外一边，那里有很多娼妓，然后是文森森林，这里就好多了。它很特别，因为它没受到遏制，不像纽约或伦敦的森林。这本来就是森林，距离巴黎只有两分钟的路程。实际上，巴黎就在这里。这座森林占地500英亩，很大，你可能会在这里迷路。

What I like... stuff that I like about Paris also is that they kept... I don't know if they kept it because they liked it. Probably not, but things are kept the way it was back in the days. Even, you know, the facades are not well taken care of, so it gives that feeling of old Paris that's really important to the spirit of Paris.

我喜欢的……我喜欢巴黎的地方还有他们保存了……我不知道他们是不是因为喜欢而保存下来，可能不是，但是很多东西总是被保存着过去的样貌。即使这些建筑物的外观并没有好好维护，它散发出巴黎年华迟暮的感觉，这对巴黎的特质来说真的很重要。

Paris is a city with soul. It's a city with past. You can feel it everywhere and I'm a part of it, and I can't avoid it. Even my father came to France when he, you know, in'56 [he] came from Hungary. So I'm not purebred, but this is where I learned how to, you know, this is the city where I learned to react to things, and if I was born in L.A., I probably wouldn't be able to react like that that much.

巴黎是一个有灵魂的城市。它也是一个有历史的城市。在每个地方你都可以感受到，而我是其中的一分子，所以我也无法避免。虽然我的父亲是在 1956年从匈牙利来到法国，所以我不算土生土长的巴黎人，但是这里是我学会如何……你知道，这个城市是我学习对事物如何做出反应的地方。如果我在洛杉矶出生，可能无法像在巴黎一样有那么多的感触。
